MASTER CASH 24/07/2010

Cash.  Master it.  You know you want to!

Sarah and I will be appearing on your TV screens at 8pm with three hours of almost-live No Limit Hold'em action.  Tonight, we'll be moving up the limits as the programme progresses.  Then, at 11pm, we'll be looking at some of the most dramatic hands and sickest pots of the week in the aptly-titled 'Top of the Pots'.

We have a guest on the phone - Yoda37 - who'll be grinding at the low limit tables.  Wish him luck!  And we'll be chatting to the team in Swansea for the lowdown on the latest leg of the Sky Poker Tour.

Finally, we have THREE spot prizes up for grabs.  Once again, we're giving away FREE entry into next Friday's 'Take on Tikay' tournament.

Two of the prizes will be awarded to the two best answers to the following question...

Which piece of music from the movies would you choose as your official poker theme, and why?

Please post your answer in this thread - along with your poker-related questions and comments - or e-mail skyopen@bskyb.com

And the third prize?  Well, to be in with a chance of winning that, you'll need to be playing at the Master Cash tables and watching channel 865 at 8pm.  All will be revealed :-)

    Hi Sarah and James

    There are 3 I would consider the theme from Star Wars, 633 Squadron or the Dam Busters, the reason, well each and every on makes the hair on my neck stand up, and each one raises my confidence.

    Just sorry I wont be watching the show, I just do not like cash :(

    Hi Sarah and James

    I certainly didn't master cash in a live game last night so will be watching to get yet more tips on improving my game from the "Guru" of poker James Hartigan!

    As for the comp I would love to enter but will be flying to Florida next Friday so can't play the prize.

    But in honour of my losing cash session last night where 4 times I could have been singing this song from "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

    Cue Sarah to sing.......in Audrey Hepburn style

    "Moon River, wider than a mile
    I'm crossing you in style some day.
    Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
    wherever you're going I'm going your way.

    Dave and kiss to James from Sian again xx

    Sting 'Shape Of My Heart' - From 'Leon' - because it's card based lyrics and basically I clean up on the tables.

    Actually I don't clean up at all but it's a good fantasy. Back to rubbing my plant and supping my glass of milk....

    Have a good show Sarah & James!

    Savin' me by Nickleback from the Film The condemned
    Because at times my poker should be Condemned a bit like the film.

    Just a random question for James

    Joe Montana or Dan Marino?

    My poker theme would be 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon which is the song for the Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me'.

    The title suits the player doesn't it?!?! An outstanding power ball to walk to the tables to.

    Always look on the bright side of life - Monty Python's Life of Brian

    As a novice it's about the one song that stops the laptop leaving through the window at times.

    Would definitely have to be the Miami Vice tune for me. I am naff at Poker, but I love wearing those white suits from the 80`s that didn't ever need ironing. The matching Slip-On shoes, and Lilac or Turquoise T-Shirts are a bonus......A bit like cashing, then laddering up.




    Have a great show James & Sarah!!!

    Do I win £5?

    Elton John "The Measure of a Man" as played at the end of Rocky 5. This is the greatest song from a movie ever in my opinion. Not only is it apt for Rocky's story but I think many a lifelong gambler could relate to it's lyrics. Below is an extract that I think any of the old time pro's could relate to:

    You've come full circle, now you're home
    Without the gold, without the chrome
    And this is where you've always been
    You had to lose so you could win
    And rise above your troubles while you can

    Now you can love, now you can lose
    Now you can choose
    That's the measure of a man

    greetings and salutations!

    my choice would have to be..Against all odds by Phil Collins from the film of the same name.
    the reason behind my choice is that my winning would be..Against ALL odds!!

    lol @ "donking 10s"!  You mean the 10s that were well ahead of your shoving range and slightly ahead of your KJ? :-)

    I think a better example of my luckbox antics was KT beating AT.  Anyways, I'll try not to mention last night's result on the live show.  Much.

    Evening Sarah & James

    My poker theme would have to be the theme from the film "Goldfinger" cause I plan on walking away with all the money at the end of the game:)

     My theme tune would have to be Mad World from One of my favourite films Donnie Darko. One of my objectives when Im playing is to make my opponents as confused as I was the first time I saw this great movie!

    dear James..boo hiss! there is nothing wrong with Phil Collins. he is brilliant in Genesis. ok, he can't act for beans, but he did put out some pretty decent songs and anyone who duets with Bone Thugs and Harmony can't be too bad.
    Sarah you are looking great as usual!!

    ps my picture is of a small dog stood on a fridge with a parrot on its head!!
